Line-up is good, except for Modric, is he seriously starting this game?

Disappointed he's not playing a couple kids. Let's face it, we need 1 point and we have 5 games to do it. This game is meaningless. Blanco and Gila should start over Modric and Case

Maybe Arribas or Peter over Rodrygo as well

I remember Modric saying once that he doesn't like when he does not play because he loses his form.

He will be conservative with his efforts this match anyway, the only problem is whether he picks an injury.

I am so gonna miss Marcelo :(

Would honestly love it if he accepted to stay on a much reduced role on much reduced wages and finished his career with us. A legend

Prime Marcelo was something else, defensively good (wouldn’t say great). And offensively the best back I’ve seen. His technique, intelligence, vision all world class. He dominated games from that LB position, against the likes of Bayern. The only other back that I’ve seen do something like that was Dani Alves.

Congratulations to Madrid for their 35th.

Yep. The most consistently great performer during the 3peat, arguably our best player during that stretch. Also changed the game in Lisbon when he came on, and scored. One of the greatest LWB ever and one of the greatest players in our club's history. And you can tell everybody wants him to score today :lol:

Btw, Rodrygo on the left is Pelé :lol:

I actually think he is better there. He plays on the right because Vinicius has the left side, but that's it.
He is clearly better on the left just not quite as good as Vini yet and unlike Vini doesn't struggle on the right

Though i think his best role is as a second striker

Isn’t that his natural position anyway?

Carlo needs to find a formation with two LW. And if Mbappe comes three LW :lol:

I think Asensio is better on the left too:D

Four LW then, not even Naggelsmann would dare such a thing :D

Have to say Ceballos had generally been pretty good in his few appearences since coming back from injury. Pity he couldn't get a fair chance this season but apparently Ancelotti asked the club to keep him

3-0 but i think this might turn into a penalty for them actually

Also, i love everything Camavinga does when we have the ball

Asensio scores. 3-0. Great finish.

Camavinga gave the pass when he had to.

Goal not given.

Rodrygo was offside and blocking Diego Lopez vision

Kroos playing against City would be very unfair and tbh kinda dumb, he is so slow nowadays.

He was never fast, but i guess he is just even slower and less sharp than a few years ago still.
